mycitiANA reports that the City of Cape Town announced on Friday that its MyCiTi bus service would start operating again on Saturday morning.  

The announcement followed the majority of unions representing bus drivers signing an agreement with employers, bringing to an end a crippling two day nationwide strike.  "Passengers should please note that it may take a few hours for the service to settle in, meaning there may be some initial delays on some of the routes.  We expect that the service will normalise and that most buses will adhere to the weekend time schedule as the day continues," said Brett Herron, mayoral committee member for transport.  He also thanked commuters for their patience during the strike.  Buses ceased operating on Wednesday when drivers from five unions went on strike following a deadlock in wage negotiations.
